Acronis Cyber Protect and Nasuni are competitors in the data protection and storage management space. Acronis Cyber Protect holds the advantage with its extensive backup options and platform support, while Nasuni is strong in scalable file storage and disaster recovery.
Features: Acronis Cyber Protect offers incremental, full, and differential backups, universal restore, and data sync features. It supports Windows and Linux platforms and includes image-based recovery and encryption capabilities. Nasuni provides scalable file storage and synchronization across multiple sites, ensures continuous file versioning, and offers rapid disaster recovery, along with global file locking and a centralized management dashboard.
Room for Improvement: Acronis Cyber Protect faces challenges with its resource-heavy installation, version compatibility issues, and tech support responsiveness. Users of Nasuni would benefit from an enhanced user interface, more training resources, and improved data synchronization efficiency. There is also a desire for Azure Active Directory integration and additional file handling features.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both Acronis Cyber Protect and Nasuni support Hybrid, Public, and On-premises deployments, with Acronis also supporting private cloud. Acronis is praised for straightforward deployment but criticized for inconsistent customer service. Nasuni, however, generally receives positive feedback for consistency in support, although it experiences occasional response delays.
Pricing and ROI: Acronis Cyber Protect provides various licensing options with reasonable pricing, though some users seek clearer upfront cost details. Nasuni's model is per terabyte, with additional costs for object storage and virtual machines. Users find Nasuni cost-effective due to its enterprise-level features, despite pricing escalation with extensive data usage. Both solutions are seen as providing good ROI.
I'll give them a nine for how responsive they are in technical support.
Whenever I have a question, they respond very quickly each time.
The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks.
Acronis Cyber Protect is a scalable product.
I would rate it eight on a scale from 1 to 10 for scalability, considering it will be multiple assets.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.
It ended up being at a point where we actually had to disable some features in order for the client to work through that specific purpose.
The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems.
Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
The Protect environment should automatically secure the last backup screens to prevent any changes, even by an admin.
I suggest Nasuni improve their syslog forwarders to support TCP protocol, as it's more secure than UDP, which is plain text and not protected at all.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
It also encrypts your backups and makes it safe, so it doesn't get affected with viruses.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.
Nasuni is a file data services enterprise focused on assisting firms with their digital transformation, global expansion, and information awareness. The Nasuni File Data Platform is a suite of cloud-based services designed to enhance user productivity, ensure business continuity, provide data intelligence, offer cloud options, and simplify global infrastructure. This platform and its auxiliary services are projected to replace conventional file infrastructure such as network attached storage (NAS), backup, and Disaster Recovery (DR), with an expandable cloud-scale solution. By storing file data in scalable cloud object storage from multiple providers, Nasuni positions itself as a cloud-native alternative for traditional NAS and file server infrastructure. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, Nasuni serves sectors like manufacturing, construction, technology, oil and gas, financial services, and public sector worldwide, offering its services in more than 70 countries.
James J., IT Manager at a marketing services firm, says Nasuni’s management dashboard is helpful because he's able to view all of the different filers at once rather than check each one of them individually. He values the software’s security, reliability, good performance, helpful alerting, and responsive support.
According to a Server Engineering Services Lead at a mining and metals company, Nasuni offers good OR and DR capabilities, performs well, offers data security, and continuous file versioning helps recover from hardware failures.
The Managing Director of IT at a construction company appreciates Nasuni because it eliminates a lot of work that was previously done when managing backing up and restoring data files.
